So here's the problem: I can connect to a mySQL database on localhost just fine with a PHP test script I've written, but I cannot connect to a remote server, even though I can connect to the remote server just fine with mySQL Control Center. Anybody have any suggestions? Here's a snippet of my code, if it helps: ------------------------------------------------------- @ $db = mysql_pconnect($myhost, $myuser, $mypass); if (!$db) { echo "Error: could not connect to DB."; exit; } mysql_select_db("test"); echo "Connection established!"; ------------------------------------------------------- And I have verified that the variables $myhost, $myuser, and $mypass contain the correct connection data.
